Summary

I had planned on a pastoral career in the Lutheran Church but during my university studies, I got involved with computers and the emerging digital communications media. Soon, Church authorities charged me with creating and developing the Protestant and Anglican Churches’ Internet presence, first, in the United Kingdom and Germany and later on an international basis. I was privileged not only to participate creatively and responsibly in new digital media, but also to teach, be instrumental in the creation of some key professional and thematic networks, and to travel and work globally. I always saw the religious engagement in the Internet as part of the overall ICT for Development effort, and in 1997 my wife and I founded Fundacion ChasquiNet in Quito, Ecuador. ChasquiNet’s main vision and mission are to develop and implement strategic uses of ICTs in development. The Foundation has successfully implemented several local, regional and international programs with global partners, for example creating the Latin American telecentre network: Somos@telecentros in partnership with IDRC and training 16,000 teachers in the use of ICTs in the classroom in partnership with Microsoft. My role in ChasquiNet, besides being its Executive Director, was to take care of international relationships. After ChasquiNet was well established with several dozen employees and ongoing sustainable programs, I made space in the day-to-day running of the Foundation for local staff while remaining engaged as member of the ChasquiNet Board. At this time, I became active in ICT4D on an international basis as a conference participant/organizer, speaker/lecturer and author. Since then, I have become passionate in all aspects regarding Internet Governance. In 2011, the opportunity arose to combine my knowledge and passions productively and I became the Executive Director of the Global Knowledge Partnership Foundation, a multi stakeholder membership organization concerned with all aspects of ICTs in and for development.
